Santos, Tivoli clash in Jackie Bell KO
All seven KSAFA Premier League teams will enter the third round of the 2014 KSAFA/Jackie Bell knockout football competition which gets under way today with five matches.
Two matches will also be played tomorrow.
Santos will meet Tivoli Gardens in an exciting clash at the Bell/Chung Oval, and coach Devon Anderson, who carried Holy Trinity to the LIME Super Cup Final, is expecting his team to do well.
He will look to the prolific goal scorer Fabian Nethersole, along with Terrence Allen, Andrew Moulton, Andrew Morris, Rohan Staple and goalkeeper Russell Hosang to get the job done for Santos.
Tivoli Gardens coach Alvin Shaw will not be taking anything for granted and will be fielding a strong team. He will look to Ranike Anderson, Lennox Creary, Shawn McKoy, Davin Watkins, Rohan Reid, Navian Boyd and Andre McFarlane to lead his team to victory.
The Rudolph Speid-coached Cavalier are expected to get the better of Shortwood United at the Barbican playing field. Barbican will have their hands full with Whitfield Town at Tinson Pen, recently demoted August Town meet Harbour View in a close match at the UWI Bowl, while Waterhouse should prove too strong for Mountain View.
All seven winners will join Rockfort FC, who got a bye, in the quarter-finals. All matches start at 2:30 pm except for the August Town versus Harbour View game which begins at 3:00 pm. The winner of the competition will receive $400,000, with second place getting $250,000, third place, 150,000, and fourth place $100,000.
